2014 Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration
" Come celebrate the life and teachings of Dr. King through music, dance, and a celebration of our community with an inspirational message from our keynote speaker, Talib Kweli.
Hip Hop as a Tool for Social Activism: For over 15 years, Talib Kweli has been a king of New York hip-hop who has an expansive international audience. Performing all over the world with unique style and an unequaled dedication to his music, Kweli has worked with artists as diverse as Kanye West, Justin Timberlake, Mary J. Blige, Common, The Roots, Norah Jones, Mos Def, KRS-One and many more. Recording with other world famous musicians or alone on the mic, Kweli gives both the long-time fan and the uninitiated an unforgettable experience. Weaving the lyrical and the gritty, the autobiographical with an honest, no-holds-barred hip-hop spirit, Kweli sticks fiercely to what feels true to him. "
